Which is the best book I can buy with clear, simple advice to help me self publish a book?
I have stuff on Kindle but I want a book, with pages I can mark, dinosaur that I am.
I should also point out that any font smaller than 12 point is a problem for me.

I might show a vested interest; I am very pleased with the company's client service and product. Might seem a tad expensive, but think value.

I have a page magnifier which help but it awkward to use, so I gave up buying WM as I couldn't get through it before the next month's arrived! (ps - don't tell Webbo or I'll be drummed out of TB!)
I recently ran a course on self-publishing in both print and ebook formats for Writers Holiday at Fishguard. You can follow this link https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/654083 for a free copy of the notes, which I am developing. I also do a demonstration of how to create a print book using Lulu.com. All of this is free to do until you actually buy a copy of a print book. I will PM you with my email address so you can contact me and I can send you a copy of my Lulu.com notes.
Good luck and happy publishing!
I have found the process very straight forward. You are required to purchase a proof copy before it will go to retail, but that is a reasonable requirement, and is the only charge.
My book "All about Hauptwerk" is a best seller (but in a **very** niche market) and I am happy with it. BUT you will never ever get a pile of your books on the front table in Waterstones because there is no promotion (unless you pay for it).
However, I recommend it!
